CloseGreat for Virtually Any Recording Application!
If you're considering picking up a RØDE NT5, you might be wondering what the catch is. There are lots of budget microphones being made these days. So how can you tell which ones are affordable and which ones are just cheap? After all, inexpensive microphones you have to keep replacing don't really save you any money. There is a simple way to make sure your affordable microphones are actually a good deal: take a good long look at them and make sure the name RØDE is printed on them somewhere. Seriously, these guys know the secret to building excellent-sounding and affordable mics.Believe it or not, RØDE NT5 is used by many pro engineers to capture everything from drums to pianos and acoustic guitars on tons of successful records. It uses transformerless circuitry to avoid any unnecessary self-noise, and their surface-mounted real condenser elements deliver crystal-clear, full-frequency performance. And how cool is this? When you pick up a RØDE NT5 small condenser mic, you don't just get an excellent condenser mic, you also get a full accessory kit that includes a stand mount and wind shield.
